Am I running the right race? Or a rat race? What do I want to achieve in life? What is happiness to me? There are times in life where your thinking bulb suddenly flashes for most obvious things you have been dealing over for ages or better, your whole life.

Life is too short to run the wrong race and to realize it only at a latter stage. When you look at your life in retrospect, you should be able to say that all the sacrifices, compromises were for a good enough reason.

Taking the red pill and see through the matrix may not be so much of a thrilling experience. The bitter truth of our lives are realized to most of us, but the bitterness makes us get back to the matrix itself and be there till the last drop of energy of ours is sucked in by the Agents.

As laymen we try to achieve preset targets or goals in our lives and restrict ourselves to our own boundaries or prisons. We compare ourselves with the fellow sprinters and thrive ourselves to excel, in which we create a rat race. A few who can stand the effects of the red pill would select their race and run it mindfully and pass it to the next generation, and for the rest life is a competition.

All your childhood and most of your youth is spent on education and professional achievements. Then you get in to the cooperate life with the intentions of earning better to live better and to be happy but, you will be enslaved until your bones creek. You earn enough but have no time to spend it with your loved ones. You have missed so much in your life, that you feel the hollowness inside as you become old and repent as it is way too late to run the right race all over again.

Think about it…. Is this worth your life?

Do what makes you happy and that you can enjoy doing day in and day out. Be with your loved ones, spend quality time with them. Cherish every moment of life and learnt to be happy with trivial things. Don’t wait till you achieve al your targets to take a rest and be happy. Realize what you want out of your life and work towards that. Being mindful can bring a huge difference to your life.

It’s impossible to know how much you’re capable of until you decide to push your limits. But what is important to understand is that, our break point is at a very higher level than we think it is. In other words you can go on for long after you are done.

Its crucial to find out your break point, so that you know when to stop and until such times you can keep on pushing your limits. What you need to know is whether you are happy doing what you do. If you have your own meaning to what you are at, then its easier for you to excel.All achievements in this world were gained with commitment and sacrifice.
